Mission Weeks

Our Mission Weeks are an important part of our school life and are one of the ways we demonstrate the principles of Catholic Social teaching.

Across the year, each class spends a week focusing on a specific charity or cause and aim to raise awareness for it within the school community. During this week children are given the opportunity to reflect on their own mission and how our actions affect one another, our local and wider communities.

Dear God,

You call us to leave all things, you who had nothing.
You call us to be servants, you who came to serve.
You call us to share the load, you who carried our sin.
You call us to speak your word, you who lived it daily.
You call us to be followers, and in your strength, we will.

Amen

Our Mission weeks allow pupils to have a deep experience of belonging and enthusiastically embrace the demands that membership of the community entails. Children are given the opportunity to support the community of the Universal Church, continuing Jesus’ mission.

We encourage children to be considerate to others and caring to anyone in apparent need, not only through our planned Mission Weeks but also spontaneously throughout the year when they feel that they have been called. This can be through prayer, fundraising, sharing time and also reflecting on and showing empathy for the challenges others might face
